1960 [Hematopoiesis]
In October, after the filming of "Enemy of the State" was completed, Xiang Nan returned to Hong Kong.
I went to see Shanshan first. She is one year away from graduation.
"Brother, you are so awesome. You actually have your own TV station. Whatever programs you want to watch in the future, just let the TV station play them." Shanshan said with a smile, "I have had such a dream when I was a child."
"Haha, you really think about it." Xiang Nan laughed and said, "Although the TV station is mine, it is aimed at millions of people in Hong Kong. How can I just say what program will be shown?"
"You're right, I'm right." Shanshan nodded.
"Shanshan, after you graduate, I hope you will work at ATV as the assistant to the CEO." Xiang Nan added, "In a few years, after you have developed your abilities, I will promote you to CEO. When the time comes, I’ll let you take charge of ATV.”
"Me?!" Shanshan was surprised when she heard this, "Can I do it?"
"Of course. Four or five years ago, you wouldn't believe that you would graduate from college, right? Ten years ago, you wouldn't believe that you would know me and come to Hong Kong to develop, right?" Xiang Nan laughed. He said, "Give yourself some confidence. You are not stupid and you love to learn. You will definitely become a talent."
"Well, I understand, brother, I will try my best." Shanshan nodded.
…
Xiang Nan then went to see Wang Jing again.
"Mr. Ning, I really admire you to death. "Titanic" has a box office of 1.8 billion US dollars. You have really bad vision!!" Wang Jing said with a smile, "Can you impart some experience?"
"This is talent, you can't learn it." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, "But as long as the story is interesting and innovative, I think there will be no shortage of box office."
"It makes sense." Wang Jing heard this and nodded with a smile.
He is a screenwriter, and he attaches great importance to script creation. A script is the foundation of a play. Without a good script or a good story, he also believes that there will be no good box office.
"These are some scripts and programs I created for ATV. You can hand them over to them when the time comes." Xiang Nan added.
Wang Jing took it and took a look and saw that there were more than a dozen scripts and program plans.
There are "Golden Branch Desire", "Step by Step Shocking", "Dong Du Detective", "Male Love and Female Love", "Forensic Pioneer", "Up to the Sky", "School Police Sniper", "Monkey King" "Sun Wukong", "Super Girl", "Wisdom and Courage", "Hong Kong Talent Show"...
He briefly browsed through it, and then once again fell in love with Xiang Nan's admiration.
He himself is also a talented person, but his talent has an upper limit. "God of Gamblers", "The Deer and the Cauldron", "The Rogue Emperor", and "The King of Thousand Kings" are considered the upper limit of his talent.
But he couldn't see where Xiang Nan's upper limit was. It was several realms higher than him. This was enough to make him despair.
"As soon as an expert takes action, he will know if there is any." Wang Jing smiled and said, "Mr. Ning, with your scripts and planning, ATV will definitely be able to do it."
"It's just this time." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, "The key is to be self-reliant and have his own blood-forming function. And in the future, ATV will have to take a longer-term view. After all, Xiangjiang only has a population of a few million and does not have a big market.
But the mainland has a population of 1.2 billion, which is hundreds of times that of Xiangjiang. Therefore, ATV must learn to look at the mainland and not always compete with TVB for these three melons and two dates."
Hong Kong dramas originally had a huge market in the mainland, such as "Royal Court No. 1", "Criminal Files", "Intolerance", "I'm Kind", "Big Era", etc., and they all set off a viewing frenzy in the mainland.
Moreover, the life of Hong Kong people in the drama is also very desirable. For example, in "Royal Court No. 1", several friends gathered in a bar after get off work, talked and laughed all night and then went home.
Their handling of relationships is also worth learning from. If you find someone you like, pursue them, and if you don’t love them, let them go. Everyone is responsible for their own feelings.
Such a life is naturally desirable.
But in the new century, after TVB completely defeated ATV, it stopped making progress. Most of the dramas it produced were teacher dramas. For example, "The Storm", "Love Comes Home", "As You Like It", and "Colleagues Are Three-Party"
"etc.
Most of these dramas revolve around quarrels over trivial matters, and end happily. Just like mainland mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas, they are bloody and boring.
Young people don't like to watch it, and the elderly will not watch mainland mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas to watch Hong Kong's teacher-nursing dramas. Therefore, Hong Kong dramas are gradually losing market in the mainland.
On the other hand, the South Korean television industry has been constantly innovating over the years.
"My Love from the Star", "Descendants of the Sun", "Reply 1988", "Kingdom", "Squid Game", "Running Man", "Produce 101", "New Journey to the West", "Three Hours"
"Three Meals", "Sisters Over Flowers"...
Both dramas and variety shows are very popular around the world.
The reason for this is that South Korea has always pursued the "going out" strategy, so it produces mostly TV series with the greatest commonality, such as romance, action, suspense, thriller...
Moreover, most of the actors are handsome men and beautiful women, and their appearance alone can attract a large number of viewers. Therefore, although Korean dramas have their own characteristics and even the language is different from those in the mainland, they still have a large number of fans in the mainland.
Korean dramas can be popular in the mainland, so there is no reason why Hong Kong dramas can't do the same.
…
Xiang Nan then made an appointment with Zhu Xuan to meet.
Zhu Hong was born in 1971 and graduated from the Hong Kong Academy for the Performing Arts. In 1991, he was selected by Stephen Chow to star in "Fight Back to School". After that, he continued to have film appointments and became a celebrity in Hong Kong circles.
The starring role in "Journey to the West: The Marriage of the Monkey King" in 1994 pushed her popularity to the highest point. Xiang Nan liked her because of this movie.
Now she is one of the most popular stars in the Hong Kong film industry. Last year alone, she had six movies released. It can be said that she is very popular.
"Miss Zhu is indeed beautiful. No wonder Wang Jing said you have potential." After meeting, Xiang Nan said with a smile.
But I was actually a little disappointed because after meeting Zhu Xun in person, I found that she was not as dazzling as she appeared on the screen.
On the one hand, it is because Zhu Yan is relatively petite. According to the information, she is 160, but in fact, she is only about 1.55 meters by visual inspection. Even if she wears high heels, she still looks short.
On the one hand, Zhu Yan's skin color is darker. In real life, no one helps her with lighting, so she looks lethargic. She is not as bright as she looks on the screen.
However, Xiang Nan has a gentlemanly demeanor and won't say anything disrespectful in front of a dwarf.
"Thank you, Mr. Ning." Zhu Yan smiled and nodded, "I wonder what Mr. Ning wants to see me for today?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I'm too bored in Xiangjiang alone. I want to find someone to chat with." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "I wonder if Miss Zhu can give me a favor?"
